Definitions

  • the invention refers to a fastening strap for, on the one hand, strapping and fastening at least one object or, on the other hand, bundling several objects.
  • the fastening strap has at least one head element being arranged in the form of a clasp and engaging with the matter to be bound and includes a leg and a shaft carrying a locking member.
  • the strap further has a wrapping element comprising one or several enlarged locking elements and being elastic. The enlarged locking elements may be individually and detachably anchored to the locking member of the head element.
  • the groove forms a locking member.
  • the locking member can also be formed by the area between the leg and the shaft, whereby the area of the wrapping element being in the ultimate vicinity of one of the enlarged locking elements may be inserted into and anchored to the insertion groove or the area between leg and shaft by means of tensile strain.
  • fastening strap in accordance with the invention may comprise the shaft having an extension.
  • the extension being arranged with the insertion groove through which the area of the wrapping element being located between two enlarged locking elements may be inserted.
  • the insertion groove may end in a sleeve.
  • the sleeve being arranged on said shaft and having a traverse wall, whereby said sleeve is arranged such-like in that it allows insertion of the enlarged locking elements.
  • This arrangement is particularly suitable for higher tensile strains, as no lateral tensile forces are exerted on the shaft.
  • Further arrangements of the invention may comprise the shaft having two insertion grooves.
  • the grooves being arranged such that the wrapping element is insertable into the one insertion groove in the direction of the leg and that said wrapping element is insertable into the other insertion groove in the direction of the leg.
  • the arrangement of two insertion grooves being oppositely aligned on the shaft is particularly preferable in cases where two objects which are located away from each other at a distance are to be bound together.
  • a further feature of the invention may consist of a detachment prevention device, said device preventing an unintended slip-out of the wrapping element from the insertion groove.
  • the invention may comprise a head element having a hook-in safety device of the spring hook type.
  • a further feature of the invention may comprise the wrapping element being anchorable in an area, said area being adjusted to the enlarged locking elements and formed between leg and shaft.
  • FIG. 1 a schematic view of a fastening strap strapped between two objects.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a fastening strap strapped between two objects.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a head element according to another embodiment.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a fastening strap strapped between two objects 12, 12' (e.g. wires, rods or anything similar).
  • the fastening strap mainly consists of a head element in which hook 1 is arranged, a wrapping element 7 having enlarged locking elements 6 and, furthermore, of insertion grooves 3', 3'' being opposedly aligned, which are formed on shaft (2) by means of extension (5).
  • Insertion grooves 3', 3'' comprise a detachment prevention device 10 which prevents inadvertent detachment of wrapping element 7.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic perspective view of a fastening strap which is strapped between two objects 12, 12', whereby hook 1 comprises hook-in safety device of the spring hook type 11.
  • Sleeve 9 is arranged such that it allows the insertion of enlarged locking element 6 from both sides and comprises a traverse wall 8 by means of which enlarged locking element 6 is to be anchored in sleeve 9.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of a head element in its operational position, said element comprising two insertion grooves 3',3'' arranged on shaft 2 and a hook 1 having a hook-in safety device of the spring hook type 11.
  • Wrapping element 7 is anchored in an area which is adjusted to enlarged locking elements 6 and formed between leg 4 and shaft 2 of the hook.
  • the head element described in FIG. 3 enables the user to optionally anchor wrapping element 7 in hook 1, e.g. if a high amount of binding safety is required for the matter to be bound (not described here in detail), or to hook hook 1 into the matter to be bound and then, after having wrapped it around, to anchor wrapping element 7 in insertion groove 3''.
  • a further application of the present arrangement may consist of bundling, for instance, material by means of said fastening strap and inserting wrapping element 7 into insertion groove 3', whereby subsequently the fastening strap with the bundled material may be suspended by means of hook 1 on an anchoring wire, nail and the like.
  • the present invention does not always comprise two opposedly aligned insertion grooves located on the shaft of the hook.
